Blu-ray lead now even higher with a ratio of 87:13

Last week, many people were amazed with the gain Blu-ray had taken over HD DVD in disc sales since the Warner announcement. Despite announcements for future titles on HD DVD made by Universal and Paramount, plus the huge reduction in price for Toshiba places, Blu-ray's lead has increased further with a ratio of 87:33 for the week ending January 20th.

Also what is interesting is that no HD DVD title reached the top 10.

Will the new trend continue next week?

Update:

Sorry guys. I was misinformed. I couldn't load the book properly but i was informed that it was 87:13 from several people on blu-ray.com when actually it was 83:17 which is a small decrease in market share from last weeks 85:15. As it was approved so quickly, i didn't get a chance to edit it.

If only i could edit the article :(

Anyway no matter, this lead despite the cut in prices for the HD DVD players shows how much Warner's announcement has affected the market. There were also no BOGOF offers during that week for Blu-ray.

If anything, this is going to fuel people's hatred for Toshiba even further. Toshiba is basically screwing over consumers and they love it. They need to cut ties, jump into blu-rays boat and enjoy the cruise for the next 10 years. Cause, like it, love it or hate it... Blu-ray will be are next gen standard.

Toshiba already has a planet (bought from Sony) that manufactures the diodes. Why keep this going any longer? It's pointless and a money game. all there is to it. Toshiba wants to regain as much money as they can before sending Hddvd to it's shallow, watery, grave.

Ah, so this is where these inflated numbers come from is it? blu-ray.com? Nice unbiased source you got there.

I have no problem with them saying about how good their format is doing, anyone else would do the same, but what gets my back up is inflating the numbers to give it more impact than it usually would have. 87:13 is about the same or less than 7:1. An impressive margin, but there is no need to inflate the ratio 13 times to get bigger numbers. Here, try 334:50. Sounds high right? It's only the same ratio as 87:13, but Joe Average would see that number and think holy crap, thats amazing.
